Petraeus: ‘I’ve Been as Categorical as One Could Be’ About Not Running for President

Tom Ricks gets an interview with Gen. David Petraeus that mostly featured Petraeus attempting to avoid making news. But this was funny:

[Ricks]: You keep on saying you are not running for president. Why do you think people seem to believe you are?

[Petraeus]: Beats me. I’ve been as categorical as one could be.

For my own part a couple years ago, sorry about that.

Sounds like Petraeus is running as hard for President as Rachel Maddow is running for Senator

Damn, you beat me to it. Well, maybe Dave can go on Maddow's show and they can both proclaim to the camera, “We're not running! Seriously!”
